Artists Interested in Wholesaling

By Alyson Stanfield on January 10, 2007

From Daniel J. Waldman at The Rosen Group:

What: Visiting Artist Program at the Buyers Market of American CraftWho: Any artist interested in learning more about the wholesale marketplaceWhen: February 16-18, 2007Where: Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, Pa.Why: The Visiting Artist Program provides artists the opportunity to explore the wholesale marketplace before joining it as an exhibitor. Programming includes educational seminars designed specifically for artists, guided marketplace tours, portfolio reviews, and the opportunity to ask questions and network with Buyers Market staff, seasoned exhibitors and other Visiting Artists.

If you have any interest in wholesaling at all, I would highly recommend this program. After attending, you will know what you need to do to have a successful show at BMAC. Summer ’06 was my first BMAC, and I don’t think it would have gone nearly as well if I hadn’t had the preparation that the Visiting Artist Program as well as the Arts Business Institute provided.
